Ingredients
1 cup sabudana (sago pearls), soaked 4–5 hrs or overnight
2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed
½ cup roasted peanuts, crushed
1–2 green chilies, finely chopped
1 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
½ tsp jeera (cumin)
Salt (or sendha namak for fasting)
Oil or ghee to shallow-fry
Instructions
Soak the Sabudana
Wash sabudana until water runs clear. Soak with just enough water to cover them. After 4–5 hours, they should be soft and non-sticky when pressed.
Mix the Dough
In a bowl, mix soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, crushed peanuts, green chilies, cumin, coriander, and salt. Knead lightly to combine.
Shape the Cutlets
Grease your hands and shape into small patties or oval tikkis. Keep them uniform for even frying.
Shallow Fry
Heat oil or ghee on a tawa. Fry cutlets on medium flame until both sides are golden and crisp.
Serve Hot
With green chutney, curd, or sweet tamarind sauce. They’re best enjoyed hot and fresh.
